Chapter 99: Studying And Training Is Such A Pain (1)
Studying And Training Is Such A Pain (1)
Bubble Bubble Bubble
A tank with bubbles popping.
Inside, a girl was floating, her body attached to some kind of breathing apparatus.
Her appearance was very much like Tywins, to the point one might think they were the same person.
No, on closer look, she looks a little different.
This girl was a bit thinner.
She looked a couple of years older too.
A subtle difference.
But my suspicions remained unchanged.
Id like it if you explained as simply as possible. I dont know about complicated and difficult rules. If you lie or try to gloss over anything.

The shadow of Herod holding a gun aimed at the tank.
The shadow of the magician Sabernak with two staves also tensed up, aiming his staves at the tank or whatever machine.
This whole illegal facility will be reduced to ashes.
Experimenting on humans is illegal.
While things may be different in the Kingdom of Ordor or the plains of the faraway Barbaria, here, in Principality of Freesia existed a strong concept of human rights.
Thats why I chose this country as the place to raise my children.
And yet, to find such an illegal laboratory underground in such a land.
Honestly, human rights and ethical experiments were none of my business, but such things were like fatal traps in raising the childrens princess power.
Therefore, I didnt feel any apprehension over destroying everything.
But Elle Cladeco spoke seriously.
Everything here is astronomically valuable. You cant just destroy them recklessly. These are treasures irreplaceable in human history.
Is that so?
It did look expensive.
But her words Ive definitely heard them somewhere.
Treasures, you see, should refer to sparkling jewels or piles of gold bars. Its even better if there are beautiful maidens too. So, such threats wont work as a bargaining chip on me.
Just tell the story straight.
Quickly and concisely.
Although there was no need to shorten it, my brain was making strange thoughts on its own amidst this peculiar tension.
Elle Cladeco spoke as if she had no choice.
This is me and my sisters laboratory. We have experimented with quite a lot of things here. These tanks you see are the results.
Is that so?
Cladecos sister.
I heard she was the wife of Ilgast.
Was she the non-blood-related sister?
Thinking of the name Ilgast, I suddenly remembered an item in my pocket.
It was a truth serum, a wonderful thing that could make one spill the truth.
Eat this and then answer. And to prevent any mischief, Ill have to tie you up tight first.
With Brigittes help, I tied Elle Cladeco up with rope.
It was called Tentacles Tendon
A formidable rope that tightened even more if you struggled to escape.
Into the mouth of the bound Cladeco, I pushed the truth serum.
Once Brigitte confirmed that she had swallowed the medicine, Elle finally spoke.
Now that its come to this, theres no reason to lie. Fine. I had intended to speak the truth to you, Professor Brigitte and Judas, and seek your help.
Is that so?
What I desire is for all humanity to ascend to a higher plane. The transcendence of all humanity. For everyone to reach level 50.
Elle Cladecos ideal.
I had heard about this before.
When I plunged it into Elles nape-
El, who had just been in agony, slumped to the floor.
Not dead, but it seems like she has overcome the crisis at least.

I will create a vessel full of malicious karma intentionally. To it, Judas, you will transfer the curse you bear. And to it, we will also transfer the Curse of Devastation that Miss Brigitte has.
Elles plan was audacious.
An undying immortal Demon King.
Such was what she intended to create.
It becomes a scarecrow that can continuously accumulate high levels of experience.
Truly remarkable.
The issue was who would want such a role.
Wasnt I that scarecrow?
Fury to pierce the heavens and wish to destroy the world?
Even the clever Brigitte naturally had to ask what needed to be asked.
Control?
A homunculus cannot defy the commands of its creator. They are instinctively designed to crave and obey their creators affection, and as a double security, a familiar contract can be made.
I remembered how the teddy bear Aru had been for Brigitte.
Indeed homunculi follow their creator.
That mad magician Faust said as much.
Of course.
So thats why Elle wanted to collaborate with Brigitte.
It was a moment that made sense in many ways.
Theres something I want to ask.
Brigitte looked at the aquarium.
The bubbling bubbles.
When Brigettes azure eyes caught the various hues, she opened her lips as if finally voicing a story she had been pondering.
Tywin, that child is a homunculus, isnt she? Your familiar.
Elle, who had been unfolding her story in various ways until now, now closed her lips.
The silence now held more meaning for me than the complex words she had used in her story just before.
Is that what happened?
Tywin isnt Elle Cladecos biological daughter.
The fact that Elle had neglected Tywin like a goldfish in a bowl.
And the point that Tywin still liked her mother Elle made sense at that moment.
When she softly asked, How did you find out? Brigette replied, Hair.
Hair?
Theres a compass magic that can find familiars when theyre lost. Its a spell that only works with beings you have a familiar contract with.
Brigette had discerned Tywins true identity by seeing Elle use that compass magic to find her.
As I was organizing my thoughts about this astonishing truth, Elle Cladeco, who had been silent for quite a while, spoke again.
Half right, half wrong. Its true I have a familiar contract with Tywin, but she isnt a miraculous being like a homunculus. Shes just a clone.
Elle Cladecos gaze turned towards the girl floating in the water tank.
I could roughly grasp what the situation was at this moment.
The girl in the tank was Elles real daughter Tywin, and what was wandering the world now could be called the clone, a shadow of this child.
I couldnt create a homunculus that makes something out of nothing. But I did have a knack for cloning, creating something from something. Of course, its inferior to the original and ends up becoming another being. This child isnt Tywin. You might say shes her elder sister.
